THE.BUsmE IN A NEW ROLE.
The Way in Which 1t Saved Young
Lady'S Life.
IRON. the Hayoords (CaI.) journal.

From the HdyDords (CdL.) journal.
We don't believe history has chronicled
more singular escape from death than occurred
in Redwood canyon last week, The male sex
who are an unfeelng lot, taken altogether, have
severely criticised bustles. which are most I'M

reading this thrilling episode should forever

sweet II arrived from Arizona couple of weeks
ago. and spent very pleasant visit with friends
in the above canyon. One evening when the
head of the family was away the milking
naturally fell the female portion of the
household. The Arizona fair one at once offered
10 do her share, but the aunt protested. The
protest was of no avail, however and shortly
afterward she started Tor the corral, pail in
hand, a typical Maud Muller. The young
lady was Just in the act of milking
when a ferocious bull spied her, and at once
started on the warpath. 1t was a critical posi-
ton, and. as the bull came charging at her with
lowered horns and blood in his eye, the young
lady quietly dropped on the ground, face down
ward and Law as still as death. This nanoeuvre
was something new for the bull aud ne was for
moment noppusSed, but he soon recovered
from his surprise and made for the PROSTATE
maiden. and mad it not been for that hustle the

exciting exp srience. The bull gored that ten

that he had made a slight mistake. and retired

a Republican Dark Horse.


Senator Matthew Stanley Quay of Penn
syIvania, doesn't think much of the Presi-
dental boom that has been started in the in
terest Of his colleague, Senator Don Cam
eron. He says that the boom is confined to
Pittsburg, and that it doesn't seem to have
reached very large proportions even in that
city, where the Cameron influence is over
shadowing
No feeling of jealousy induces Senator
Quay to speak lightly Of Senator Cameron's
boom, but he is such an ardent admirer OF
the Maine statesman that he cannot admit
that there is a possibility that any other
man will be nominated for President by his
party. He is just as confident now as no
was in 1884 that Blaine will be nominated
and elected, and the fact that Blaine was
beaten in 1884 does not seem to weaken his
confidence in Blaine's success in 1888.
But some Of the Republican leaders are
not as certain as Senator Quay is about the
ACCESSIBILITY of nominating Blaine. They
are inclined to think that his nomination
would be followed by crushing defeat,
and. therefore, they have been canvassing
their available material for a candidate
who, in their opinion, has better prospect
for success than Blaine They have been
discussing Senator Cameron, hence the lit
tie boom in his interest.
There is something to be said in Senator
Cameron's behalf. He is not loud -mouthed
politician, and is long way from being a
demagogue He is not great man, nor
perhaps a statesman of the highest type.
He is good business man, a good political
manager and has plenty of good common
sense. The position he took in the
matter of confirming the appointments
of President Cleveland has raised him
considerably in the estimation of the lead
ers of his party. A good many of the Re
publican Senators advised that the Presi-
dents nominations should not be confirmed
in order that Republicans might continue
in Office. Senator Cameron said that no
greater mistake could be made, because
any Republican who remained in Office
would be useless as party worker. Con-
firm every reputable nomination, he said,
and the ousted Republicans will work to
get back into Office. His advice was &C
cepted, and the Republican party has
good many workers who, if they had re-
manned in Office, would have been dead
weight upon the party.
A little boom for Senator Cameron, how
ever, doesn't mean that his party is likely
to choose him for its candidate. Other lead
ers have booms that are much bigger than
his, but be may be considered as one of the
dark horses, though from present indica-
tions, the chance for dark horse is hardly
worth considering.

sumptive printer named Frank Mckee, com

Seven years ago Abram Brown, of Oakland.
died, leaving property to his only daughter,
Frankie, valued at $4,000. She attained her
majority little over year ago, and then as
sumed control of the property, which brought
in an annual income of about 5000. she LOOK

ought to become O widow herseH
in order to enjoy the social freedom
that an unmarried woman can never nope 10

and Mrs. K NJ Apgar. To them she contided
her longing for social emancipation she de,
clared she was bound to become WIDOW anu
thought If she could marry some man VINO was
on his deathbed 1t would be about the rlSnG
thing. Apgar agreed that if she was determined
10 marry, and for the purpose stated, 1t would
be advisable to have the thing settled with as
little publicity as possible. He accordingly IN
PRODUCED this peculiar young woman 10 DR.;
Dupuy. DR.. Dupuy declared that he knew OF
just the man to suit Miss Browns WISH IN tne
person OF poor printer nameC Frank McKee,
who had beautiful case OF consumption ana
who could not possibly live more tnan month.
Miss Brown thought that she had found just
the man she wanted and agreed to look at the
subject On the Following day she and Apgar
went to the office of DR., 'Dupuy, where the medl-
cal man exhibited his consuInptive. Miss Brown
looked him over with critical eye, thumped his
chest vigorously, and made him cough, several
times for the purpose of aScertaining II the IN.

that she would take the chances OF his living.
Mckee consented TO marry the girl for money
consideration, and the pair were welded by
Justice Wood They did not depart together.
1t had been agreed that the husband should go
and die by himself. The wife gave him 500 be.
fore the ceremony took phase, and agreed to

and strangely insisted on living. In fact, be
grew alarmingly healthy He met his wife
few months after and got some money from
her. Dupuy received liberal commission, and
t is charged that .Apgar. got a fee. Finally
Mrs Mckee refused TO be bled any more and de-
parted for the East The story leaked out and
created O great sensation in Oakland. Mckee
followed her to Indiana. but she refused to see
him. She then departed this fall for Europe,
and is said to be IN Carlsbad. Another curious
feature of the affair is that Apgar died on the

UNIV Sc Attacks.

Some of Mr.. Lamars advocates are using
rather Incorporate language in his behalf.
1t is very natural that they should, but it is
question whether in doing so they are
acting wisely.
What is the purpose of the Republican
Senators who are opposing Mr.. Lamar's
nomination. Clearly to arouse a contro-
versy. They don't care anything about
what the South thinks of their course, be-
cause their party has nothing to gain in the
South, but they do care great deal about
what the North thinks of it. There is no
doubt that their party intends to use the
bloody shirt issue in the Presidential cam
paign next year for all that it is worth, and
they propose to get some material for it out
of the nomination of Mr.. Lamar.
The chances are that they don't care
whether Mr.. Lamar is confirmed or not.
They will try to make the Northern PEG pie
believe that the South is aiming to capture
the government, and it is to their interest
to get up as big controversy as possible
over Mr.. Lamar's nomination. If he is
confirmed they will insist that they tried to
prevent the confirmation, and will charge
the Democrats with filling all the important
places of the government with ex-Confed-
crates, and if he is not confirmed they viii
claim the credit for defeating him.
If it were not for the hope of gaining
party advantage it is probable that there
would be virtually no opposition to Mr..
Lamar. His fitness for the position of
Justice of the Supreme Court is fully recog-
nized, and his popularity with the Senators
is conceded. As the opposition TO Mr..
Lamar is a part of a plan for carrying the
next Presidential electionit is difficult to see
how his chances are to be improved by at
tacks upon those who are opposing him
Such attacks furnish the Republicans addi-
tional material for campaign purposes next
year. II is hardly wise, therefore, to assist
in promoting a controversy which cannot
help Mr.. Lamar, and which may do the
Democratic party a great deal of damage.

The statement of several Republican
journals that President Cleveland will
shortly send to Congress supplementary
message, in which he will modify his po-
sition on the tariff, is too absurd to be for a
moment entertained. 1t is based or the
idea that he has been scared into partial
abandonment of his position Whatever
else the Republicans may say about the
President, he doesn't 'scare," and even if
he were the sort of man who is afraid of his
own shadow, he would have no occasion to
modify or retract anything contained in his
message.

Strange as it may seem, tasting products
of food for living is carried on extensively
in this country. AT first glance, this man
ner of making money strikes one as being
easy and pleasant, but no doubt the men
who adopt it as an occupation soon sicken
of it, and their palates lose their acuteness.
Even if confined to the most pleasant tasting
articles of food, the continual practice must
soon lose its charms. A butter faster re-
